You can buy them pre-wrapped in the supermarche, about the same quality as your average Ho Ho (okay, maybe a little better).

You can get them in a patisserie with lovingly caramelized sugar baked in.

It's something I've been wanting to re-create for a long time. But for a few years, try as I might, I just couldn't get waffles right.

They always came out...floppy.

Floppy waffles may occur naturally with aging, but I wasn't ready to give in to them just yet.

Anyway, long story short, the mighty Google has finally led me to this pearl (sugar) of a recipe.

The chocolate shell was my own creation.

The smiles on my kids' faces? I'm taking credit for that as well.

Chocolate Dipped Waffles
The recipe that saved me here was the Waffle of Insane Greatness. Where did it originate? Who created it? I don't know! You can find it on all the big food sites *now*, but I salute the chef who created it. And named it. That name is a winner.

Well it seems you've mastered waffles now, that's great!:) When I lived in Europe we used to go to Brussels for Belgian waffles -- so worth the trip. I love your chocolate dipped touch and now you've got me craving them.
